The music itself really does have a purple/Tiny "flare" to it... however it doesn't sound like something I would hear the radio play more than just once or twice and that would be just because they have to or something. In my opinion the 3 members of STP are wanting to reappear to mainstream listeners again, but something like this is not going to do it. While I appreciate the music itself, its not a Sex Type Thing/Plush/Wicked Garden/Trippin/or even ILS... therefore main streamer's won't care.
With that said, I never had a problem with STP not getting the radio love with their latest albums, because to me it was like they were putting out music for their own love of it, and I really liked the direction they went. The last three albums are by far my favorites from the band.
But we all know the reason for them wanting to go along with Chester is to hopefully become relevant again. In my opinion that sound on Out Of Time won't get that done. It's a good track, but not something radio is going to fall in love with. I would be suprised to hear it play twice on my rock station.
If you played that song for me a week ago and I didn't know about all this news with STP, I would say it's a voice that I don't find relaxing, singing against something that sounds "inspired" by a couple STP records. That's it.
